FRANCE TV a récemment sollicité Tony Ortega comme expert, un choix jugé discutable. Ancien rédacteur en chef du Village Voice, il a défendu Backpage.com, une plateforme impliquée dans la prostitution et le trafic d’enfants, en invoquant le Premier Amendement. Alors que les dirigeants de ce site ont été lourdement condamnés pour trafic et blanchiment d’argent, le passé d’Ortega en tant qu’apologiste de ces activités jette un doute sérieux sur son éthique et sa légitimité médiatique. Coleman de conclure : « Les médias doivent être conscients que donner une tribune à Tony Ortega détruit instantanément leur crédibilité, car personne n’utilise un apologiste du trafic sexuel d’enfants comme « source » dans ses articles. »

CAP Liberté de Conscience presented a statement to the Human Rights Council regarding Russian spiritual teacher Konstantin Rudnev’s arbitrary detention in Argentina. Arrested following misunderstandings and unsubstantiated accusations of being a “cult leader,” Rudnev remains in pretrial detention despite lack of evidence. He faces due process violations and inadequate medical care with declining health. The organization argues his imprisonment violates religious freedom and liberty rights, based on imported disinformation rather than actual crimes. CAP LC demands his immediate release on humanitarian grounds.
